+NAME
+ SDL_perl - Simple DirectMedia Layer for Perl
-What's New in 2.2.2:
+SYNOPSIS
+ use SDL;
-SDL_Perl-2.2.2
+DESCRIPTION
+ SDL_perl is a package of perl modules that provides both functional and
+ object orient interfaces to the Simple DirectMedia Layer for Perl 5.
+ This package does take some liberties with the SDL API, and attempts to
+ adhere to the spirit of both the SDL and Perl. This document describes
+ the low-level functional SDL_perl API. For the object oriented
+ programming interface please see the documentation provided on a per
+ class basis.

+ Maintainance
+ Nick: kthakore
-Additionally the following Perl modules should be installed:
+ Name: Kartik Thakore
- Module-Build-0.22
- Test-Simple-0.62
+MacOSX Experimental Usage
+ Please get libsdl packages from Fink
-Installation:
+ perl Build.PL
+ perl Build test
+ perl Build Bundle
+ perl Build install
- perl Build.PL
- ./Build
- ./Build test
- ./Build bundle # MacOS X only!
- ./Build install
+ Running SDL Perl Scripts in MacOSX
+ First set the PERL5LIB environment variable to the dependencies of your
+ script
-Installation with Windows + MinGW:
+ %export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:./lib
- set SDL_INST_DIR=Absolute/Path/to/SDLdir
- perl Build.PL
- ./Build
- ./Build test
- ./Build install
+ Use the SDLPerl executable made in the bundle and call your scripts
-
-The build process will use the new Module::Build facility
-to auto detect and build SDL Perl for your platform. If
-the build fails please forward bugs to sdl-devel@perl.org.
-
-For MacOS X users there is a new experimental bundle,
-that is called SDLPerl.app. You can use this bundle
-to run perl scripts with a .spl extension, you know,
-SDL Perl files. We will work on brining this style
-launcher and an integrated development environment to
-all platforms shortly.
-
-Documentation:
-
-Each module now includes its own documentation, and
-is accessible through perldoc. Additional tutorials,
-code, and tips can be found at the website:
-
- http://sdl.perl.org
